Oil & Gas Industry Tax Refunds

​

If you are an offshore employee paying UK tax while working on rigs / installations, you may be due a 100% UK tax refund. Taxation of Oil & Gas rig workers is a very complicated system, especially in the North Sea. Factors that are taken into consideration are as follows:

Your country/place of fiscal residence.

The position of the rig / installation, e.g. UK sectors of the North Sea, non-UK sectors etc.

The total time you spend on the rig annually, usually it is best to keep it under 183 days per tax year.
